Black bears for example it is 80% plants, 15% insects and only 5% meat.

    Yutyrannus is an animal that is capable of reaching sizes more than a tonne and some could even reach 2 tonnes in weight (Which is similar to Gigantoraptor size) and they have been found to have feathers. So, the argument of dinosaurs being too big for feathers seems to be quite invalid in this case. Personally I'd find it very odd for Gigantoraptor to not have feathers, especially since it's pretty bird like in the first place.

    I consider that these animals are unlikely to be herbivores. The huge claws and fast running speed plus the shearing beak suggest that they were carnivorous.

    Palaeontologists: It was big and lived in quite a hot environment so would likely not have many feathers or none at all.

    • @ksprice45
      @ksprice45 3 роки тому +1

      Modern amateur paleoartists use waaaay to many feathers and specially evolved features from modern birds. The ideas started out as just that, ideas that were cool. However they’ve taken it way to far with the speculative paleontology in a lot of the modern art. It’s actually become less cool and more annoying as I’ve seen artists who go for more accurate drawings get chastised for not adding in the features of birds. As with a lot of good things in life, people who go to far ruin it with hate, and pressure to assimilate into what they believe is right

    • @flightlesslord2688
      @flightlesslord2688 3 роки тому

      @@ksprice45 i know right. People see an accurate deinocheirus with sparse feathering (we only know it had tail feathers conclusively), and call it inaccurate because its not covered in feathers, which would contradict its habitat and size. Its dumb.
      I think the worst one is Utahraptor. Don't get me wrong I've seen some great fluffy utahraptor work. But this an animal as heavy as bear which lived in a semi-arid environment, its bigger than both ornithomimus and ostriches, but according to some palaeoartists it was an absolute fluff ball. Which would not only be detrimental for maintaining its temperature but also would inhibit its hunting most likely, especially a fluffy face and neck, given that it would have been eating animals larger than itself. I find the feathered face look of utahraptor pretty ridiculous given most birds that feed on carrion have featherless faces.
